Value per Share

Can anyone explain the calculation for Value per Share?

Each company has 10 blocks of 1,000 shares for a total of 10,000 shares. The game seems to be dividing (in error?) by roughly 100,000 for Value/Share. Still, the calculation is off. From my current game:

Player / Total Value / Value per Share / "Missing" Value

P1 / 801,652 / 7.38 / 63,652

P2 / 549,836 / 5.50 / -164

P3 / 629,403 / 6.10 / 19,403

P4 / 538,164 / 5.37 / 1,164

The numbers are off dramatically immediately following a buyout. I played on and after P1 bought out P4 the tooltip shows:

Total Value: 1,521,781 (implies actual value/share of 15.21)

Value/Share: 9.20 (implies "missing" value of 601,781)

Any ideas on what other factors are at play? Is the calculation being done correctly?
